Thanks to all who made it there today. Nice to meet some new people and see some old faces. No pics from me because of bitter Nova jealousy all day lol

Gareth, your car is epic, and dont worry about the teething probs either, thats par for the course with a track car. If it doesnt at least eat one tyre you're doing it wrong lol

Chris. Stick 2 is a great little car :)

Look forward to seeing some pics of the day :)

It was a great day. Especially when Ernie passed me and my mate in his 328 E36 on the 10.15 session. I couldnt stop laughing for half a lap because of his "WTF" reaction.

had a good day, went out twice with gareth (g8wcc) and twice we didnt last more than 2 laps!

im sure once he gets used to its incredible power, and sets the suspension and brakes up, and sorts the tyre issues it will one hell of a car!

but when we finished it at 6.45am saturday morning after working solid on it all day friday , we expected something to fall off, but it ended the day slightly muddy, dusty, but nothing fell off, he even drove it home from combe :) top day all round

a little to busy on track for my liking but was fun!

burgo
26-04-09, 09:32 AM

Benn
26-04-09, 09:39 AM
Liam i didnt know you went.

Lee good stand, had some nice cars on it, i didnt see that many of you tho.

Some very nice novas on track, Christ didnt see you got past the Evo, very impressed with that cause he was flying. So you must have been at mack 12.

Then again you where comming past me at full chat.

Will fire a few pics over in a bit... On here? Or own thread?

Cheers for bringing the mats Chris, was much appreciated. I am a lazy git.
Stick 2 was flying as well (only saw the first sesion where you licked the Evo)

Some nice cars going round, my fave was the MGB (I think) with what sounded like a V8 in it (again I think).

Drifters were very poor indeed aside from a few.

Had a top day thoug, headache as a result of the sun yesterday FTL however.

The stickered-up, yellowy looking one? I don't know... The guy was giving us the thumbs up whilst we queued for track.

I had a great day :D Dougie's driving was fantastic and I had a massive smile the whole time. I think my bosoms would benefit from harnesses instead of standard seatbelts though.

Went back and had an epic curry and some pear cider :p

Great pics Benn :thumb: it was great to see everyone.

27-04-09, 02:52 PM
Ahh that poverty Blue Nova is someone on here. One of my mates mentioned that as a fave car of the day, purely down to the fair turn of speed & the stealth factor it has.

I didnt get any pictures of the Novas at all. Didnt seem like a good day for it, Ernie's sessions aside. I thought the Vauxhall turnout was a bit less than normal. Weather perhaps?

I got a semi-decent shot of a R5GTT at speed. Quite surprising for my camera/skill level.

panasonic HDC-SD9 was £299 from Currys as it was end of line... if you are lucky some might still have stock. Its a "full" HD one too.
and a pair of 16GB memory cards for £19.99 each from mymemory.co.uk

There is a Hdd and SD card version which was about £360ish but couldnt find a non display one lol. plus thinking about it an HDD in the car is a BAD idea lol.

be warned, the files on the computer are SILLY size... 45GB (once converted) for chris's 60 min filming spree lol Those two youtube vids were compressed down to nearly 300megs each lol
